Steps to Certification

While it’s not required to become certified to work as a doula, many trained doulas choose to become certified to show expectant parents and professionals that they have met a high international standard. CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professionals Association) is an international certification organization for Doulas, Childbirth Educators, and Lactation Educators that has been training and certifying perinatal professionals since 1998. If you choose to certify, here are the steps to complete your CAPPA certification:

1. CAPPA certification candidates must be at least 18 years of age. No person under 18 years of age may attend CAPPA training classes.

10. Two letters of recommendation from professionals. Details are provided within CAPPA Academy.

11. Order, read, and complete all online content, including videos, from the Understanding Breastfeeding Book, available in the CAPPA shop. Details/forms are provided within CAPPA Academy.

12. Create a resource list with information on local support for parents. A guide for creating this list is included within CAPPA Academy.

13. In order for candidates to be eligible for CAPPA certification they must sign and agree to the following forms: Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy, Grievance Policy, Mission Statement, CAPPA Approach / Philosophy Statement, Vision Statement, and Scope of Practice.
